With tons of things to do in Singapore, it’s an ideal travel destination that presents a harmonious fusion of culture, entertainment, and exploration. Boasting towering modern structures, lively street bazaars, and mouth-watering cuisines, it's not uncommon for Indian tourists to choose Singapore as their preferred holiday spot.

Despite being known as one of the most expensive cities in Southeast Asia, Singapore has plenty of attractions and activities that won't break the bank. Welcome to our guide for a 3-day itinerary for Singapore, perfect for budget travel! Discover how to make the most of your trip without sacrificing comfort or fun! From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, get ready to explore this vibrant city-state while on a budget travel.

On average, round-trip flights to and from India and Singapore are priced at INR 24,000. With several airlines flying between India and Singapore, competition is fierce, which means there are plenty of deals to be found. Another way to find cheap flights is to be flexible with your travel dates and book in advance. If you’re looking for the lowest cost possible, the cheapest month to fly is May. Traveling from India and Singapore usually takes five hours and 35 minutes.

When it comes to accommodations, Singapore has a wide range of choices for backpackers and those on a shoestring budget. On Klook, you can also search for your accommodation before you fly in. This could help because some hotels have deals when you book in advance!

It's a good idea to determine the area you'd like to stay in before booking your budget hotel. If shopping is your top priority during your 3-day itinerary in Singapore, you might want to consider staying in the city center, such as Esplanade or Bugis. On the other hand, if you're more interested in experiencing authentic food trips, Chinatown, Little India, or Geylang may be more suitable options.

If you’re the kind of traveler that would spend most of their time outdoors, book a stay at a budget hotel that would provide your basic needs. The average check-in price to a budget is INR 2,500 for two people. For this 3-day itinerary in Singapore, the total cost for accommodation would be INR 5,000!

Ready to start plotting your itinerary in Singapore? For your first day, you can go on a Singapore city tour to see its popular attractions at once! With the Singapore Attractions Pass, you’ll have access to up to 10 attractions with just one pass. If you dream of visiting Gardens by the Bay Singapore, Singapore Cable Car, SkyHelix Sentosa Singapore, Singapore Flyer, and Singapore Zoo, we highly recommend you book this pass.

Did you know you can save up to 52% more than when you purchase separate tickets for each attraction? The Singapore Attractions Pass is super convenient for maximizing your savings—perfect for those on a budget!

We’re now on the second day of this 3-day itinerary in Singapore. For Day 2, we’re going to Sentosa Island and Universal Studios Singapore.

While Sentosa Island is known for its luxurious resorts, attractions, and activities, it's still possible to enjoy the island on a budget. First, consider taking the Sentosa Express monorail (which costs INR 250) to the island, as it's cheaper than a cab!

Once on the island, there are many free or low-cost activities, such as visiting beaches, walking along nature trails, or watching the Wings of Time light show. With your Klook Pass, you can choose to experience the SkyHelix!

If you're going on a Singapore budget travel, you may be wondering if a visit to Universal Studios Singapore is even possible. Enjoying this popular theme park without breaking the bank is possible! 

Save money by purchasing your tickets online in advance, as they’re often cheaper than buying them at the gate or putting it as an add-on to your Klook Pass! You can also pack food and snacks to save money on dining, as the park's food options can be quite pricey. Also, take advantage of the free attractions and shows within the park, such as the nightly fireworks and character meet-and-greets. 

We’re onto the last day of your 3-day itinerary in Singapore. That means one thing: shopping for souvenirs to take home!

If you want to shop in Singapore on a budget, then Bugis Street and Mustafa Centre are places you want to take advantage of. Bugis Street, home to the largest market in Singapore, is a popular shopping destination with over 800 shops offering various items, from clothes to electronics and souvenirs. The prices here are affordable, especially if you’re good at bargaining. 

Mustafa Centre, on the other hand, is located in Little India. It's the go-to place for budget shopping, with a wide range of products from groceries to jewelry and electronics. 

Apart from Bugis Street and Mustafa Centre, there are other budget-friendly options, like Chinatown Street Market, where you can find a wide range of souvenirs, clothing, and accessories at affordable prices. Looking for a more upscale shopping experience? Head to Orchard Road, where you can find luxury brands alongside inexpensive fashion and accessories.

When it comes to dining, we've got you covered. Singapore is renowned for its diverse and delicious food scene, but that doesn't mean you must spend a fortune to enjoy it. 

For local eats, head to hawker centers such as Maxwell Food Centre, Chinatown Complex Food Centre, and Tiong Bahru Market, where you can find various dishes ranging from char kway teow to laksa. Another great option is to visit food courts in shopping malls, such as the Food Republic or Kopitiam, where you can find a mix of local and international cuisine. Lastly, don't miss out on Singapore's famous kaya toast and coffee breakfast set at Ya Kun Kaya Toast, which is both delicious and budget-friendly.

For this 3-day itinerary in Singapore, your food budget can go as high as INR 9,500!
